"2,290 to 2,960 jobs"

How many of them will be jobs for criminal defense attorneys, civil rights attorneys, immigration attorneys, etc.?

Get ready for Thomson real estate to increase in value as muzzies start buying it up to be near their brothers in the prison.

Terrorism (or whatever they call it now) as a jobs program.

And how will the citizens of Thomson feel after the first store or cafe is blown up by a suicide bomber or there is a mass shooting by an Islamic terrorist?

Yep along with the SEIU kitchen and laundry staff they will need to take care of these terrorists! You can't have terrorists doing those type jobs in a prison.

For how many prisoners, 10! The spirit of Marie Antoinette Lives! Let them eat cake! Take our crumbs! There are millions out of work and they have the arrogance to tell the American people take what crumbs come to you!

Random thoughts:

1) Er, wouldn’t these jobs be mostly taxpayer funded government jobs (i.e. not creating private sector wealth)?

2) I truly never thought I’d see the day when a President of the United States would pitch the transfer of a mass murdering terrorist as an economic boon.

3) Aren’t liberals supposed to be all uptight about the prison-industrial complex anyway?

4) Just an aside. IIRC, Plugs Biden once advocated solving the overcrowding problem in many prisons by dismantling the federal penitentiary system. His plan was to convert them into ‘regional zones’ where prisoners from nearby overcrowded state prisons would be housed in (relatively) undercrowded Federal prisons.

Yes and they will be reliable Dem voters.

Beefing up the Baraqqi coalition.

TERRORIST WAR CRIMINALS are being housed in Illinois, how are they going to get to NYC?

How about an Air Force One shuttle, with some low flyovers of Lower Manhattan?

There is a silver lining to this..if Obama succeeds in becoming dictator, the SEIU guards will likely be as swift as the Nazis and shoot those terrorist fools at dawn and not look back! No graves. Just dump them in the ocean and that will be that.

Unfortunately on the other hand..he will probably try and shoot the rest of us as well. I’ll be ready for them.

A return of the bubonic plague would mean more jobs for physicians.

Not a chance!

200+ inmates and almost 3000 jobs? Unrealistic, even by gummint standards.
